Revenge is Sweet
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Classic Satire by René Bull: A Three-Image Sequence from the 1890s René Bull (1872-1942), a prolific cartoonist, war artist, and illustrator, is renowned for his wit and humor that transcended the boundaries of his time. This three-image sequence, created in 1895, showcases Bull's artistic brilliance and his uncanny ability to satirize everyday life. In the first image, we find the artist, dressed in typical Victorian attire, immersed in his work amidst a lush, green field. He is intently focused on his canvas, painting a bullfighter with an air of determination. The second image reveals the arrival of a farmer, leading a bull through the field. The artist's expression changes from concentration to apprehension as the bull approaches. In the final image, the bull, with a mischievous glint in its eye, charges at the painting, goring it with its horns. The artist is knocked over in surprise and dismay as the bull's revenge is exacted. The bullfighter in the painting, oblivious to the chaos unfolding, remains frozen in time. Bull's satirical commentary on the unpredictability of life and the potential consequences of one's actions is as relevant today as it was in the late 19th century. This sequence is a testament to Bull's artistic talent and his ability to capture the human condition in all its complexity. René Bull's engineering background in Paris, followed by drawing lessons from Caran d'Ache, shaped his unique artistic style and perspective. This sequence, created in 1895, remains a timeless treasure in the annals of cartoon history.
